Crazy Weeks

I started my classes last week, and holy craziness batman! I’m taking 4 classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and one on Wednesdays. One of the classes I was trying to get into on Tuesdays and Thursdays I had to add, and so did 15 other seniors, when there was already 50 people in the class. We all needed it to graduate, so she can’t give any of us priority. So after finally hunting things down and getting stuff situated, I was able to add the “same” class, only through a different department. So I had to start that one today. It was weird, I’ve never had to do that before. Now I’m working on trying to swich one of my classes from Tuesdays and Thursday nights from 7-8:30 to the morning from 8-9:30. I know, it’s crazy right? Well, its either that, and have all of my classes back to back, or have this 4 hour window of time which drives me CRAZY because I don’t want to bring 8,000 textbooks to campus with me every time. So I e-mailed the department, and I’m trying to get THAT squared away. But since I’ve already highlited the textbook for the section I’m in now, I can’t actually return it, they’ll do a buy back, so I’ll get less money, which sucks. But I can’t find the textbook for the other class either, so I don’t know how much it is! Ugh. I want to swich sections though, because then I can have my nights to do homework and spend time with John – which is something I’ve already really started to miss this semester, and I KNOW it will get worse as the time goes on, since I’m taking classes that confuse the hell out of me. Seriously, I don’t think anyone knows how much of a headache I leave these classes with because I don’t understand them! Well, I mean, I understand them, but for some reason, nothing is registering with me right now. I have a feeling I know why, and John would probably know too, but I’m not going into details about that on here. It’s a little too personal. Sorry guys.I’m also looking for a new job. Yes, I have a job at Bath and Body Works, which is great, BUT, I’m not getting the hours or the pay I need to… well, get myself out of the debt that I am in right now and still maintain all of my rent and utilities and car payments and such. So if anyone out there knows of anything that’s paying well and I can get decent hours at, please let me know!I miss John. I know he’s going to read this, and I know a lot of other people are going to be like “eewww, I don’t want to read that,” but sorry guys, I don’t care right now. I miss getting to spend the time together that we got at the end of the summer. I’m not sure how we made it through all the weeks I was at the camp, but we did, and for some reason, now, just going one day is hard. I don’t know how you all do these long distance relationships… I guess it’s that I know he lives so close to me, or I live so close to him, whichever, and I can’t see him as often as I’d like. I feel so much better when I’m with him, like everything is okay, and all of my problems will have an answer, and it will all work out okay. I hope I never lose that feeling with him. I’m afraid it could happen, and he knows why, but I’m going to work my hardest to not let it, as long as he promises to do the same.Anyway, I’m going to go eat “dinner” before class (dinner consisting of a granola bar and a yogurt).Shalom y’all.
